We investigated the reaction of bank voles Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) to odors of conspecific individuals and that of wood mice Apodemus sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in a mature forest in central Poland (52°20'N, 27°25'E). Our results show no difference in catching bank voles in traps using conspecific or wood mouse odors as bait.
